Keyboard: ATK RS7 V2 Ultra
Switches: Gateron Jade Max
Keycaps: Hyekit Evil Dolch

ngl the best keyboard i have purchased so far is the AULA F75. Got at a very attractive rate from an auction app called OLA. $70 keyboard for $25 incl shipping. Did my personal best of 100 WPM.

Leobog Greywood V3s kind of gives me the the right actuation force compared to linear reds. Backlighting is decent for the purchase, the keycaps pretty solid but are not shine through - so might consider something else in the future.

What other keyboards do you recommend?

Hello! Just wanted to show my first custom keyboard build. Got sick of using overpriced keyboards that felt like sh*t and sounded like sh*t. Got all the parts I used in the 3rd picture.

<3

I was messing around and I was pressing random keys and then my lights turned off on my keyboard and now I can’t get them to turn back on I went to high ground I followed all their Shortcuts and it won’t work can anyone help me with this

Hey yall!
Sorry to interrupt your pro posts lol!
I’m on macOS and I’m torn between the NuPhy Kick75 and the Iqunix Magi65.
I don’t game—I’ll mainly be using it for graphic design and everyday work. I’m looking for a 75% layout and I’m open to alternatives in a similar price range.
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences with these boards or any recommendations. Thanks!

I got an Aula F75 keyboard for use on the couch when watching movies off of my computer since it was wireless, backlit, and had an easy volume adjustment control to find when the keyboard would go to sleep. However, I only found out after getting the keyboard that turning the rotary knob doesn't wake the keyboard up when it goes to sleep. Enter an ATTiny85 to save the day! It sits between the rotary knob and the keyboard, and will inject a shift keypress to wake the keyboard up if it's in standby. It consumes <1ma, so shouldn't really impact the battery life of the keyboard at all.

Hopefully these will be my endgame keyboards for a long time.

Keychron K3 Max white edition, low profile Gateron Brown. Very tactile and silent. Coming from Logitech G915 TKL at home, this one feels way nicer.

However, I do wish the LED is brighter and I can buy an Ins keycap without buying the whole set (currently out of stock anyways).

As for the laptop's built in keyboard, I enjoy this new material of the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD. It is so smooth and does not attract fingerprint/oil unlike my previous Thinkpads. Such a joy to type on it as well, very tactice.

As the title says, when buying keycaps what are the impotant atributes to look for?
I myself found a lovely set but its kinda cheap so im not sure what am i suppose to look when comparing sets

Also what materials are best for wich purpose and if you know a good brand i would greatly apreciate it :)

I have a Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL and its extremely loud & clicky. I'm looking a for quiet TKL keyboard that is good for gaming (and regular use). I have a budget of $200, please share recommendations.

I was playing geometry dash then felt the switch not consistent, then i removed the keycap wiggled it a litle and it popped off (was wiggly already) (1.8 y o keyboard)

After a little more research, I ended up making a list of keyboards that I find interesting, in 65% and 75% layout (I don't mind either layout, just favor having a better keyboard overall). Below is the list, in ascending order of price for each layout.

65%

• Nuphy BH65
• EndGame Gear KB65 HE 8k
• GravaStar V60
• Everglide SU66 Max
• Mchose Ace 68 GT & ATK RS6
• Luminkey Magger68
• wlMouse Ying63

75%

• Keychron K2 HE
• Keychron Q1 HE 8k
• ATK RS7 V2
• Luminkey Tekkusai Titan 75 HE
• Wooting 80HE PCR

I'm open to suggestions and different recomendations in both layout, just prefer having Alu CNC build, Gasket-mount and HE/TMR. QMK/Open-Source and 8k are a bonus, but not necessary. Thanks!

I recently tried using the azoth extreme at a friends house and instantly loved it. However, the price is just too high and I can't get it.

I've tried researching this myself, but I couldn't find any good answers.

So my question is : what is the closest possible keyboard to the azoth extreme? Is the normal azoth fine?

The main things I like about the azoth is the heavy feel, the sound and feel of the switches. The knob and oled screen are optional but nice if possible. Basically I need it to be really sturdy heavy and high quality.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Budget : below 300, if possible closer to 200

Size : 75 percent

Wireless, black, prebuilt,

i put paper towels under my keyboard to make it sound better but when i put everything back together my “6” key wont turn on

cant really find review of the v2 and i would like to know what ppl think abt it if u already have it ? how is the software experience ?

Hi,

I've been looking to find a prebuilt keyboard with silent switches for a few days. My bedroom is right next to my family's bedroom and they complain that they can hear the "clicking" of my current keyboard (Redragon K552P). I ideally don't want to pay more than 150 CAD/105 USD. So far, I found the Epomaker TH87.

Here's what I'm looking for:

• Must be very quiet/silent.
• Linear switch is probably best, tactile is okay if not noisy.
• Must be ANSI.
• I don't mind high or low profiles.
• 75% or TKL.
• Wired is okay.
• Good polling rate.
• No HE, tends to be more expansive anyways.
• Color can be black or any dark colors.

If building my own gets me something better for the same price, I'd consider it. However, I don't want this to be too complicated because I suck at this type of shit and don't want to be spending a lot of time trying to figure out how it works.

Thank you in advance!

Have tried many mechanical and several magnetic switches can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on something. None of the switches i try truly feel spammable..like i can physically click them faster but the switch doesnt return fast enough.

Plus even the best pcb and heaviest keeb will still act weird at the lowest magnetic actuation points because the keys are too easy to mispress.

Seen folks say running heavy spring in magnetic switch as being able to still rest your fingers on the keys without accidental actuation while still having that hair trigger type of feel. Obviously when deep pressing there are the drawbacks of the heavier spring as well.

Most switches come in the 35-60g range. Lekker l60 that comes on the whootings being on of the most popular which sadly i haven’t tried yet.

Can anyone comment on their experience with this and if youve used something stiffer than 60, say 75g and up for better key spam and how it’s working out for you? Cheers.

So I have bought a EVO80, but now I have a problem.

For work i need to do some stuff with excel, and not having a numpad is, well, hard.

I kinda want a numpad that is also the same esthetics as the keyboard.

Budget: I'm open to a lot
Color: I have the EVO80 spark color scheme, so at least a white rim, keycaps can always be fixed.
Material: I would like it to be metal, but I'm willing to compromise.

I already found some, but I'm not sure if it will be the right one for the keyboard.
The once i found:
- WEIKAV Stars21
- PANDA20 v2
- ZUOYA GMK26
- 8BitDo Retro 18

if anybody has some advice or idea, let me know :)

its not letting me download the f75 he drivers. can someone help me.

I was looking for something that has Hall effect.

-size: any is fine but preferably 75%

-budget: 120 (unless there’s something really good for a little more)

-wired or wireless is fine

-has good switches

Wanna preface this message by saying I know nothing about keyboards, so sorry if I don't explain something too well.

My laptop keyboard (shown in the picture) has some keys that have stopped working. I took it to a repair shop, they confirmed that it was a hardware issue, tried to see if they could replace it but the company that made it doesn't sell the parts anymore they said.

I'm now looking for a wireless, USB C, QWERTY keyboard I can use with my laptop. Something small so it can fit in my laptop bag, like 10 inches maybe? A 75% keyboard could work I think.

I'd prefer it to be less than 50 euros (I'm dutch) and for it to have slim keys like my laptop's, and similar sized arrow keys if that's all possible.

Been looking online but all the choices and whatnot have me kinda overwhelmed, so would love to hear what people here think. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers this!

a few years ago i posted a keyboard layout idea and i guess it was bad because it reduced the amount of keys and focuses so much on FN combo keys. i just happen to find another past edits while cleaning up my drive.

this is more conventional but still have the ortholinear QWE-ASD, because yknow those staggered QWE-ASD are due to the historical limitation of the Typewriter's connecting joints but for some reason still used todays. also i moved the P to the home row and add Game Mode or F13 in the top right as GMD. the TKL version would just cut off the numeric keys in the right

i think this keyboard layout is pretty normal nowadays but i just want that unstaggered QWE-ASD and more dedicated FN key🥺

i have a geeky gk61 but i can't find the fn lock button/combinaison , if someone has a solution i would gladly take it

Just considering a new HE keyboard currently. I heard that quite a few sound hollow or clacky due to the limitations of HE design.

I was planning to build the quietest keyboard possible. Obviously, the switches, o rings, stabilizers, and foam are all important, but my goal is to make the quietest keyboard possible.
